- which lthe lollovving is a specification.

illy invention relates to an improvement in lrnives adapted particularly 'lor use by lurriers in tleshing or dehairing hides.

"lhe principal object et the invention is to provide a novel torni of handle or holder,

so constructed as to permit o'l the ready/ i the members of the handle or holder sepa- Ell ll llll lill

rated from each other; and

lFig. l is an elevational vieiv oi' a torno oil blade which may be employed'.

The holder comprises tivo substantially similar handle members f2; and 3, which are adapted to be superposed, and clamp between them the blade l. lElach o'l the members 2 and 3 is substantially llat, and is cut away at its torn/ard portion, as indicated at 2a to allow llor the projection beyond the holder oil the cutting edge oil the lrni'le l. ,hach ol' the members 2 and 3 is also provided with a pair ol spaced projecting spurs or hoolrs 3, which are alined inthe longitudinal direction ot each member, and are stamped up llrom the material itseli, so that a slot is leittin the member where the hoolt 3H was termed. rlhe hoolrs ot" one handle member entend in a direction opposite to that in which the hoolrs oit the other handle member' extend. v

'the blade l, which is preferably shaped as shown in liig. fl, is provided with spaced elongated slots l, through which the hoolrs 3* are adapted to project `when the lrniile assembled..

lit its rear end one ot the handle mem-m bers, Qi or 3, is provided 'with a pivoted lreeper d, and near liront end the same or the other member is provided wwith a pivoted lreeper li, these lreopers serving as clamps to hold the members and tl tightly together with the hni'le blade 'between them. [in additional means 'lor preventing shitting oil the blade, and acting to move the same into position to be clamped between the members handle member' is placed over the blade with its hooks 31? passing through the slots lI and entering the slots under the hoolrs 3a in the hrst handle member. thereafter the handle members 2 and 3 are movable longitudinally in relation to each other7 which will bring them Iinto enact alinement, causing the hoolrs'of the tvvo members to interengage. During such 'longitudinal movement, the spur b Will move the blade toward the forward end oil the holder and vvhen theA parts are in this position the lreepers Lland 5 are turned into clamping position and the lrnite is ready tor use, "lo remove the blade, the lreepers l and 5 are moved out ol clamping position, and the members 2 and d moved longitudinally in relation to each other until the hoolrs 3a are out oil engage ment, whereupon the blade l may be 'lreely removed. A

l desire it to be understood that my invention is not limited to the 'Llorm oil the handle members or the blade as illustrated,

'and that modihcations :may be made Without departing from the spirit oil the inven tion as delined by the appended claims.
